A negro named Manning Bee is the keeper

meantime and removed some of his goods
He made a search and soon found w. S.
Timmons, James Walker and Louis Bones
all colored, and James Collins, white, seated
in a nelghboring lot enjoying a feast.
The four were boys between the ages of ten
and fourteen years, and with boys appetites
they were devouring sardines and Holsters.
Bee managed to capture them all, and
marched them up to the barracks. The
boys Immediately began to lay the blame
on each other, each declaring that the
others had led him astray, but before they
got through with their quarrel they were
disputing about who had eaten the most.
They were locked up, and will be taken be-

A valuable contribution 10 natural
science has been made by Prof. Edward
Hotter, IN the discovery of a remarkable
power Of memory In the bumblebee.
The little creature has evidently strong
sense Of locality, compaI able TO that of
the carrier pigeon.
The professor removed nest contain
ing numerous bumblebees from its orig
inal location, aud carried IL To his resi-
deLce abou: three miles distant. He
further carefully watched the place Tor
some time, after having captured all the
bees who had flown TO the defence Of
their nest, and secured, Il was believed,
the entire colony. These he imprisoned
for several hours in a wide. mouthcd
bottle. and safely reunited them In their
new home. A. his house he placed the
nest, with its Inhabitants, near win
dow, aud after the latter had been quiet
ed, made small entrance. Immediately
the bees began TO fly ont, aud IN doing
so must have observed their surround
ings, for in short time they oae by
one returned. The following night how
ever. there was severe storm: and
while the Inhabitants Of other colonies
of bees near IL, that had become accus-
toned 10 their surroundings, were not
In the least troubled, these bees escaped.
and hid themselves somewhere without
during the storm. Upon searching for
them early the next morning. the queen
was found dead upon the ground, while
fifty or sixty Of the workers were seen
dying about the house. From time 10
time one or another probably those
which had flown out OF the entrance the
day before-found the opening AMI re-
turned into their nest; while The re-
mainder, after flying about for several
hours, gradually disappeared ill not
one was left. As IL was supposed that
they had in all probability returned To
their previous nest, the place was visited
In the afternoon, where, at least, fifty
OF them were found. They had thus, Il
will be seen, distinctly remembered IL,
and after they had sought In vain to lind
entrance TO their new home. they had
depended on their wonderful sense of
locality, aud returned thithcr.

Northern CnnnibuIs.

Prof. j. Jacobsen, who has been In
the province for some years collecting
Indian cnrios for the Hamburg Museum
and writing up the habits, customs aud
traditions of the aborlgines, arrived
down on the Boscowitz from Bella
CoOla. The Professor spent all last
winter at Tucalo, the head OF the south.
ernpost of the Bentinck arms. which II
distant from Bella Coola about eighty
miles. Here he found the IEdian In his
primitive state, wild. untutored saw
age, with but n scant knowledge Of the
arts or customs OF civilization. The
inlet, running far Inland, aud being
every way out OF the course OF traders
or prOspcctors, is never visited, and the
Indians say no white man never went
up to tIe head OF IL before. they live
there as they DO in most places around
the coast, by hunting aud lshing, deer
and fur-bearing animals abounding I'm
large numbers. They are without mis-.
sionPries and eannibalism Is rampant.
The Professor tells Of some slckenlng
sights which lie witnessed there during
the past winter, which at this day one
could scarcely believe capable Of being
witnessed 80 near home, did the iDfor-
nation not come from n reliable person.
The custom Is still carried out there Of
men ambitious for the honors Of chief.
tain betaking themselves to the woods.
and after remaining there for some time,
coming back possessed OF n spirit and
biting pieces Of flesh from the bodies Of
those whom they first meet. One who
wished TO graduate last winter went out
and remained from sight for several
weeks though lie came near the camp
occasionally and made night hi1eoas
with his yells. When he came TO the
tribe he came naked, Notwithstanding
tbat it was the middle OF winter, with
two or three feet Of snow on the ground.
The first man he met he seized, knocked
down. and bit piece out OF his arm,
which he chewed rayeGously. This was
repeated many times over, his face be-
coming besmeared with blood and pre-
seDting n hendish appearance. The
victims OF the would be cbieftsin's bites
receive In return for their pains n small
pecuniary compensation, and ItIs an
honor TO carry the scar. The more
scars Of this kind decorste an Indian Q
body the more numerous are bis bonors.
and when he comes 10 hsyea great
many he becomes chieftain himself In
little way. The bitter ON one occasion
made break for the Professor, who
soon gave him TO understand that te
was going TO experience something
pretty tough IL he tackled him. lie was
not further m0Icsted.

Money I'm Butterflies and Moths.

"Have butterflies or moths any CON-
mercial value? 2" asked New York Her
aid reporter of distinguished entomol-
ogist.
Indeed. they have. a man the other
day offered $50 for rare butterfly.
know some men in New York and
Brooklyn who make a regular business
of selling and exchanging butterflies.
A man wrote TO Inc from Switzerland
yesterday asking if l would exchange
some American moths for some Europe
an butterflies. 1t is by such exchanges
that collectors marage to get such va
riety of specimens.
"When does the season begin ~
LAS soon as winter goes, and it lasts
until winter begins. have cocoOns at
home now which will be out soon. When
| go after moths, smear some smOothed
barkel trees in the afternoon, and in
the evening find lots OF moths sticking
to them. pin them all carefully in a
box and take them home, and after
wards throw away those whic.i | do not
want. There are very many varieties,
and, more curious still there are moths
in New York and New Jersey which
you cannot find at all in Massachusetts,.
Ave, and some variety Of moths are
found in one section of n State that do
not appear at all in another. This is
probably the main reason why IL is al.
most impossible TO classify moths prop
erly?"
"Does this hobby of yours cost you
much?"
"Oh, no. The cabinets and boxes are
not expensive, and all Ihave to buy now
are pins. They certainly cost more than
they ought. | get 500 at time and
have to pay G5 cents for them. They
are imported from Germany and are
made I'm i've different sizes. That they
are not made here has long surprised
me. Another item of expense is books.
There are few good ones, but they
cost good deal of money. | fancy it is
on account of the engravings."
"Wbo has the largest collection Of
butterflies in America Z"

shetland Ponies.

There is an unfailing interest attach
ing to these little hOrses-it may be for
the reason that they are 80 fitted TO be
petted and made to play tricks; but
there is a better reason than either Of
these. and it lies in the fact that there
is deal Of good service within the di-
minutive beasts capacity. We do not
put them TO any severe test on this be-
half i'm this country-here they find the
end Of existence i'm laboring for the
pleaure of the little Ones-but in their
native Scotland they enjoy no perpetual
holiday. for there they are literal beasts
of burden, undergoing heavy tasks,
bearing men who easily could carry
them. and carrying burdens which
would not be consi cred lighi If laden
upon horses of ordinary size.
In the native condition ''at home"
the Sheltie is long haired, shaggy In
truth, with an abundant name. and lux
uriant foretop, aud blessed with tail
of, for itself, formidable dimensions.
But these peculiarities are not disfgure-
ments, because they comport with the
countrv-bleak. wind-swept islands,
where Nature must give extra covering
10 her children, or leave them TO perish.
Change of climate, however, gives new
characteristics, anil the second or third
generations. begotten under more favor
able conditions, presents well-nigh n
new type, which l., 10 the hairy ances-
try, somewhat as the original English
pony is TO its improved descendants.
